we all really enjoyed the few days spent with our friends at platte clove community (former called bruderhof). it was such a treat to be in the green lush mountains of the catskills and this together with friends who cared so lovingly for us. joel and i got to help in the shop, and the kids where so happy in their groups. naomi was so very happy with her new friends, wandering around the woods and picking wild flowers and strawberries. amos made some new "best friends" a & a, he wanted to play with them after group time and we managed to have breakfast with their family, which was just the best thing happening to amos. elias discovered once more how much he loves to work in the garden, digging compost and fixing up a shingles on a shed who needed fixing up.now we are back in the city at our own little community.
it's good to belong and be part of a wider group of people who do feel and believe the same. although often that can manifest itself in very different ways, which is even more interesting. i'm sure we will be back at platte clove and every time we visit it is an adventure, a challenge as well as a shower of love and compassion.
